Just about everything you want to know can be found with the search feature, but the most critical thing to remember is the effect of a towed object on the light weight rear end of the Elky. The rear end can be easily pushed around by a towed object. The heavier the towed object, the easier for the rear end to be pushed around. Even a relatively light object being towed will put you into a skid if you brake much in a curve. Until you experience it, you have no idea how scary it can be.
